How would you feel if that was your son? Your brother? Your boyfriend or husband? Pretty bad, I’m sure…especially if you found out by watching it on the 6 o’clock news.
I prefer KXMB’s newscasts…I don’t watch much local TV, but if I do it’s KX news. The reason is that I like their coverage of local issues compared to KFYR’s, who has to focus more regionally. But when I saw this story air tonight, they still didn’t have any details of the kid’s health! They even said so. Wouldn’t you want to find out if a guy is dead before you show video of someone pulling him from the snow and starting CPR on him? Apparently not at Reiten Television.
I don’t know what’s going on over there. I wish the sensationalism would simply stop. Hey, you KX folks: show a little restraint. Edit out the footage of the body, at least. Act with a little bit of professionalism, please. Heaven forbid you should rush to air footage of someone you care about some day. Is that what it would take for you to stop and think for a minute?
